They are also first cousins, often as not, historically speaking, part of the same country. Let them settle their differences however they will, without any interference from us--or any other country.

The only problem with letting them solve their own problems is if we and other western countries hadn’t sent equipment and intelligence to Ukraine, Russia would have kept on going into the Baltics. Then we would be under treaty obligated to send troops. I would much rather send money and equipment to contain the conflict inside Ukraine. We don’t need to send our military off to fight another senseless war.
